I'm using fragrance free baby wipes for botty, as cotton wool is just hassle, and they use them in hospital now.
I had a changing unit that the top lifted up on and there was a bath uderneath for the first few weeks. I only bathe them every few days, as they don't get 'dirty', and it messes with their skin if you over wash them. Once I've stopped bleeding, I bathe babe with me, and hubby gets babe out of the bath.

I use Infacare bath, which smells lovely and it's absolutely fab on anyones skin, even a newborn. I think you can get it from most larger Boots stores.

Talc is a must to make sure baby is dry properly, but i used the liquid talc by Avent, because their nostrils are so small, I was worried that talc powder would choke them somehow.

And for cradle cap, I used Olive Oil, rubbed across babes head against the direction of the hair growth and left on over night, and then wash with Dentinox Cradle Cap Shampoo.

Here are some reviews on Infacare.....

I have bought a little plastic bath for bathing my newborn in as they are only cheap and i feel i have more control than if i put her in a bit bath.

I've also bought various johnsons baby products for bathing, i'm not sure what i will find useful as i'm still waiting for her to arrive. I'll certainly be using talc to make sure she's dry.. i even use it myself!!

Ive also bought lots of baby wipes in fragrance free, for sensitive skin as i think cotton wool would be a complete faff. Just my opinion though

i bought talc but never used it as there some pl told me 2 avoid it, even some midwives. they say it can go inside areas where you wouldnt want it to go and can cause damage. not sure if its just a old wifes tale but i havent used them, will wit until she is a bit older, dont wanna scare anyone who uses it, be interesting to c if anyone else has heard of this??? xx

I was wondering about this too. I think my baby might have sensitive skin because I do, so Ive stuck to all johnsons stuff. We've only bought talc, baby oil and cotton wool so far. I wasn't sure what to do about shampoo or body wash or anything. Wasn't sure when you're supposed to start using them.
